Prime Minister Stephen Harper officially started the election campaign last weekend, making the time between the official campaign start and casting of ballots the longest on record in over 140 years.
The minimum length of time between an election call and voting day is 37 days, however this campaign period will last 11 weeks.
That’s over twice the amount of campaign time and hence more money out of the taxpayer’s pocket.
So what do you think about the prime minister’s decision to call such a lengthy election?
